From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Good point about the reviews. I forgot about that part.
Yeah I definitely don't want to sound negative on Flatpaks or on Mint, though.
Flatpaks are my preferred way of packaging apps, and while I've moved on from Mint for my own usecase (I like Gnome so Fedora made more sense to me), I always install Mint on other people's old machines because it just works, is similar to Windows UX, doesn't require you to be on top of updates very much, and has pretty sane defaults.
